Hi :)
You are asking in the right place and hopefully someone might have a good
answer for you or be able to point to places that might have more
detailed knowledge of what you are looking for. Most of us started with Windows and many of us
still use it a lot.
I tried a search for "smb" and then for "web" on our Extensions / Add-ons / Plug-ins site
http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center?getCategories=&getCompatibility=any&sort_on=positive_ratings&path=%2FLibreOffice-Extensions-and-Templates%2Fextension-center&portal_type=PSCProject&SearchableText=web
but didn't find much. It might be better to search in OpenOffice's
Extensions as many of them probably still work well or have maintainers
that might be interested in updating it in order to make it work in
LibreOffice. Also the OpenOffice forums might be a good place to post
questions but if you do and post here as well then it's polite to let
both places know when you have found an answer and what the answer was.
Also most versions of Gnu&Linux (=distros) have their own forums and
mailing lists so it might similarly be good to post questions there in a similar way. Which
distro do you use at the moment? Ubuntu/Mint,
Mageia, Fedora , openSUSE or which? DistroWatch is a good place to
look-up the official forum/mailing-list for your distro
http://distrowatch.com
for example to find the Ubuntu ones try here (it redirects)
http://distrowatch.com/ubuntu
for Fedora find some good links here
http://distrowatch.com/fedora
There is also a general-purpose forum at
http://www.linuxquestions/org
that covers many, maybe all different distros but often you get answers from people using
completely different distros, possibly even from different families so you sometimes have to
figure out how to apply it to yours. Most programs are either the same in each;
LibreOffice/OpenOffice,
Firefox, Thunderbird and many others. Sometimes they choose slightly
different choices such as Chrome, Seamonkey, Opera instead of Firefox, similarly with utilities
such as your "package manager" so it doesn't take much to work out how to apply their advice and
people at LinuxQuestions might even help with that.
Also there are other LibreOffice places such as AskLibO
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/
and other places you can find at
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/
but i still prefer this mailing-list.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Could you highlight the area(s) you desire then copy then paste to wherever you wish the
data?
that's my system;
[but I may not be understanding to what you're referring since I have no clue as what smf
is ;-) ]

Hi
Preamble ...skip if in a hurry
--------------------------------------------
*I've been on the m$ office treadmill for 15 + years
*I've always been scared of Linux and thought it was all command line
*Recently stumbled on Linux and libre office ...so I am completely new to
libre office
*Used it for a few days ... Truly it's a great piece of software and
dispelled most of my doubts on Linux, using Linux, libre office etc etc
Question / request reading
------------------------------------------
*However some specific doubts remain on libre office
*I've been using M$ XL's add on for grabbing web data , called smf add in
*When activated, once could easily grab specific pages, specific cells of
web pages directly into xl ( without opening a web browser)
*This is a great time saver
*The only and only / excellent group for using smf add in can be found at
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/
*Some basic write up on using smf add in can be found here
http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/326478-derek-a-barrett/1414481-automating-alpha-getting-started-with-stock-market-functions-smf-add-in-for-excel
Now, my question is , is there a similar add in for libre office, when
invoked , could help the user get specific cells ( not the whole web page )
from a URL into libre xl sheets ? Of course the user supplies the URL
Or is there some app in Linux that can do the same ?
How do people grab specific web data ( not entire pages ) but specific data
for web pages into libre calc ?
Request to Moderators ; if I am posting on the wrong area or group please
most this post accordingly
Thanks in advance
Regards
